Big Beach Party

We sailed to Marion to pick up Mark and Veronica. Next day, we sailed over to Pocasset and anchored inside of Bassetts Island. The place was packed when we arrived around 1400 and people kept arriving by boat all afternoon.

We dinghied ashore and walked the beach. An older couple going the opposite direction commented that there is a large party going on down there. It certainly was! A live band was set up on a barge, and there must have been fifty small boats anchored all around it, with plenty of people on the beach dancing and whooping it up.

We listened for a while then walked back to our more serene part of the island. At least we can say, "We were there!"
